If they’re smaller, they’ll upgrade you Luxury class: a G70 2.5/3.3 or a CT4.
Which airports or locations have them?

Avis:
Only saw Crown in Boston and Seattle... while every location I've been to has G70 or CT4/5.
Most ppl don't book Premium because it used to be 300 and Maxima.

Avis full size hybrid is unreliable: I've gotten shitboxes like Outlander PHEV, Hornet R/T, and some ok Prius, EV6, CR-V and Accord Hybrids.
I usually just book or ask for an EV: I know I'm going to get an EV6, Ioniq 5, or EQB.

Hertz
If you HAVE to have a hybrid Toyota, E6 class is all Camry Hybrid and rates are good.

New hybrid, IS500 gone.
New interior, LFA tach gone.
New adaptive suspension and steering.
New hands free self drive under 40kmh.

Still no fuel economy, power tailgate, heated steering wheel, nor heads up display.

Same shitty 6AT with transmission hump.
Same 2GR with slow 8AT.
Man toyota is like apple, like the new iphone 17 that dropped today they dont bother innovating anymore lol

It's hard to innovate at Apple scale cuz they gotta have the supply chain to ship it to billions.

At least Apple are shipping dope shit in AirPods even if they're failing at AI.

- Airpods shipped live & paired translation shipped before Meta.
- Airpods with heart rate is a huge unlock if you don't want an apple watch.
- Find My and Messaging with satellite
- Apple Silicon had a 4 year lead (but now Intel/ARM getting close)

Crown Hybrid Max is up against some pretty tough cars for highway fuel economy.
Wonder if the 2.4T is still rough & if the electric motor helps with torque.

Car and Driver's tests these for 320km at 120kmh:

- 540i xDrive: 37mpg or 6.3L
- Crown base: 36mpg or 6.5L

- G80 M3 Comp: 27mpg or 9L
- Crown max: 26mpg or 9L

Highway isn't where the hybrid is good at though, it's city driving
